Free Body Physical Therapy

Experiencia fantástica: Don't hesitate. This was my second go at PT but this time I was able to stick to it, apply it, and feel better. Everyone from the front desk to the therapists are so welcoming and helpful. The true star for me is Michal Czesny. They're engaged, charismatic, and make the appointments fly by. My body felt better from the first visit and it kept improving from there on out. GO TO THIS PLACE.

Experiencia fantástica: I discovered Free Body PT through Zoc Doc last October, and WOW am I glad I took that recommendation! I've never done physical therapy before, but my primary care physician suggested I try it for my lower back pain I've been experiencing since I started weightlifting over 15 years ago. I started working with Marc, and just based off of an initial discussion and consultation, he was able to immediately identify some weak muscle groups and an irregular association between body parts and how my and compensates for that. I was given some exercises to help strengthen those muscle groups and dissociate that irregular mind/body association, and I immediately noticed positive ways my body reacted to those exercises. Since then, I've worked with Michal (his schedule works with mine), and Michal's found additional exercises and stretches to strengthen other muscle groups that contribute to my lower back pain. I saw another reviewer here mention how she started dry needling with Michal and wanted to mention I did the same; there are times where it doesn't hurt at all, and other times where it's an odd cold sensation that afterwards feels AMAZING. Michal absolutely knows what he's doing, and is great at educating you with what is happening with your body, what he does to diagnose what's happening, and what to work on in between sessions. Assuming you put the work in, you definitely notice the benefits with Marc and Michal's exercises and dry needling - communication on how you're feeling is super important, but also doing the exercises they recommend regularly. This team is super professional and incredibly personable, I can't recommend them enough! I look forward to continue working with them!

Experiencia fantástica: I was hospitalized for 3 days unable to walk, and only discharged with an order for PT, which had already failed me once. Needless to say I was feeling pretty hopeless when I walked (with my cane) into Free Body for the first time. All of the therapists individually took the time to get to know me and my case, and offered different areas of expertise and treatment. I have primarily been working with Michal for the last 6 months and I have seen progress that I didn’t believe was possible. In the last 6 months, I have come off of multiple pain medications, increased my tolerance for activity and exercise, learned to manage my symptoms myself, and ultimately have restored my mobility far beyond my capacity in the last 9 years since my injury. I couldn’t have done it without my team who believed in me, and not just my prognosis. Free Body PT will always be family to me!

Experiencia fantástica: I was looking for physical therapy after I injured my ankle playing pickleball. Free Body was able to see me right away. The staff at the clinic were very kind, professional, and accommodating. I’ve worked with several PTs at the clinic, all of which were very knowledgeable in their assessments and developing a plan including home exercises. Ive had several sessions and I have seen significant improvement in my mobility and strength. They introduced dry needling into my treatment which has also helped with my recovery. I’m now able to play pickleball again and continue to do the exercises recommended to me.

Experiencia fantástica: Free Body PT is awesome! My therapist Marissa is knowledgeable and warm, great customer service from the whole team, and the space is so clean! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Very awesome PT team(Marc, Marissa) as well as the ladies in front desk. Michal is very informative and reassuring. I also like that he would brainstorm with you on your activities of daily living and help you incorporate your PT exercises that you could do throughout the day. I'd recommend this place for PT. Keep up the good work!

Experiencia fantástica: Free Body Physical Therapy is an excellent clinic. Its success lies in the undeniable competence and knowledge of the staff, in their evident dedication to high quality patient/client service, and in their ability to work at a high level not only as individual providers, but as a team. I have mostly worked with Michal. Michal is fantastic, in short. I came to this clinic seeking his expertise specifically as he had been treating my partner's injuries very well and I had recently sprained my ankle. Within just a few days he had me standing again. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable about his craft, but he is also very good at explaining to me what he is doing, describing each technique to me down to naming every muscle and bone he is working with. He is also very creative and thorough with his treatment plan, tweaking and adjusting wherever necessary, session after session, approaching issues with an open mind in order to not exclude any possible solutions or treatments. I feel as if I am really collaborating with him to find the best care methods that work for me as an individual; he is very attentive, and is very concerned with understanding my experience of the care he is giving. He is not only treating my ankle injury, but the underlying flexibility and strength issues as well, in order to prevent re-injury as much as possible. Generally great stuff. Marc also contributed to my care in that he convinced me to come to physical therapy much earlier than was recommended by my doctor, which greatly sped up my recovery. He explained patiently the specifics of why that would be beneficial, after which I booked a consultation immediately. I am so grateful for that. Everyone that works here is so kind and so concerned with making sure everyone is receiving the best possible care. The practitioners spend the entire length of their sessions giving the client/patient uninterrupted and undivided attention. They really spend the time to listen to the people they are caring for in order to make sure they are receiving exactly the care that they need. This goes for not only the practitioners, but the lovely ladies at the front desk as well, who are so patient and kind even when I am being frustrating with my unpredictable schedule. They always make sure I get the appointments, and additionally helped me deal with my insurance swiftly and efficiently when problems arose. I believe that part of the reason each member of the Free Body PT Team is so able to thrive and care for us at such a high level is because of the excellent team dynamic they have. They really visibly look out for each other just as much as they look out for us. It is so nice to be around. Generally, this is just a great clinic. I highly recommend. I am going to come out of this so much healthier and stronger than I have ever been, even before injuring my ankle. Look no further, this is the place to go.

Experiencia fantástica: I work with Marc and Marissa to address an injury I have been dealing with for years. I can’t say enough great things about them! They are very knowledgeable and attentive. After a few visits I was already moving more easily and with significantly less pain!

Experiencia fantástica: I'm an amateur strongman competitor recovering from a patellar tendon rupture and subsequent surgery. I initially came into Free Body PT looking for help getting my knee back to competition shape. They helped me strengthen and increase range of motion in my knee and we also dove into some chronic mobility issues in my ankles, hips, and shoulders that have led to injuries throughout my lifting career. After a few months of regular sessions my strength and mobility are the best they've ever been. They do a great job of explaining things so I can take what I learn in our sessions home and put in the work to improve, and then come back with feedback and repeat the process. I would highly recommend Free Body to anyone who is interested in improving their quality of movement.

Experiencia fantástica: My experience with Free Body has been nothing short of amazing. I came in with neck issues from working out at the gym. I was able to schedule an appointment hassle free and make it into the clinic in a timely manner. I’ve done several sessions with my physical therapist and I’ve seen significant improvement in my neck pain. They were very knowledgeable and willing to explain everything needed for recovery. I highly recommend Free Body!

Experiencia fantástica: Marissa Nemec, in particular, is amazing. I arrived with a laundry list of ills and, over a few months of her careful treatment and work at home, they're all better. She also worked with me to develop a list of exercises and stretches for if they begin to recur, which has also been hugely helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. Mind Body was a wonderful complementary treatment to my daily gym routine in rehabbing my shoulder after surgery. I was back in action after a few short months. I'm looking at you Marissa!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been to Free Body Physical Therapy twice now for two different injuries. This place is absolutely wonderful. Michal was my physical therapist both times and I left feeling so much better both times. He took the time to really listen and is super knowledgeable. The exercises really helped and I felt improvement after just 1-2 visits. The staff are professional and accommodating. If you’re looking for a physical therapist, I highly recommend Free Body!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve gone here for two separate injuries and have seen each physical therapist. My experience has been uniformly excellent. Physical therapists here genuinely care about getting you better. The exercises they’ve provided me have proved to be helpful on both occasions, and with each treatment I felt like I learned a lot about how my injuries came about and how I can prevent them from happening again. All three physical therapists have great bedside manners.

Experiencia fantástica: I sought out free body PT after failing PT elsewhere. So far, my experience has been excellent- both Marissa and Marc listen well and pay attention to detail. The care I’ve received is not just 1:1 as I’d anticipated, but individualized. You can tell they love what they do, are knowledgeable, and truly seek to do everything they can to get you feeling your best. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I had a major, specialized surgery that required a lot of therapy to recover. Within one or two sessions my surgical pain was nearly gone. I work in health care and I can say that Marissa’s knowledge in her field is boundless. My surgeon is very impressed and surprised at how quickly I am recovering, and I can say it is all thanks to Marissa. She is very professional, but also very kind and approachable.

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly recommend Free Body to anyone looking to receive physical therapy for injuries or chronic pain. The staff here are professional, knowledgeable, and take the time to assess and develop a long term personalized plan for recovery, prevention and maintaining a healthier lifestyle. I came here after being recommended by previous clients who had similar issues (neck / shoulder pain, headaches). After several weeks of therapy for chronic neck / shoulder pain and completing a series of strengthening exercises in the clinic and at home, along with dry needling, my mobility and pain / discomfort improved drastically. I also now have the tools to manage and alleviate discomfort before it becomes a problem. The staff at FB are committed to helping clients develop a health care routine that best fits your needs and easy to incorporate throughout the day.

Experiencia fantástica: I have had such a great experience with Free Body Physical Therapy. Everyone there is extremely positive and motivated in helping you recover in the best way possible and meet any goals you have. My primary therapist has been Marissa Nemec and I cannot recommend her enough, she is always optimistic yet realistic, funny and great at communicating in a very effective manner, so you know exactly where you're at within your recovery. She tries to keep at home excercises simple and easy to do at home. I cannot recommend Free Body Physical Therapy enough!

Experiencia fantástica: So happy I found this place. Michal, my PT, is very personable and knowledgeable. I like that it's one-on-one and they don't use your standard go to exercises. I've gone to a lot of different PT places and Michal has me doing exercises I've never done before. Also, dry needling! Recently started adding it into my sessions and wow! Hurts but really does help and Michal takes great care in listening to me and focusing each session to what my body needs at the time. 100% recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I could not recommend Free Body Physical Therapy enough. If you are looking for quality individualized care, this is the place for you. I have been to many physical therapists throughout my life and sports career, but no one could pinpoint or resolve my symptoms. After going to see Marissa at Free Body a year ago, she helped me finally find answers to my symptoms. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition that I was dealing with for years. Not only did Marissa recognized these symptoms and direct me to the proper care, but she now helps me to manage my pain and flare ups with exercises tailored specifically to me. The other staff members at Free Body are always so pleasant and friendly as well. The staff works so well together as a team to help each of their patients. They truly care about you and your healing journey. It makes going to physical therapy enjoyable! Marissa and Free Body have helped me so much in this last year, and I couldn't thank them enough!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I like to live an active life style in playing basketball and lifting weights. Recently my forearm and elbow pain stopped me from working out. After going to Free Body Therapy they treated the pain and taught me how to strengthen the surrounding muscles and shoulder that were the root causes of my pain. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I recommended it to my wife and she’s now going to relieve her neck and shoulder pain.

Experiencia fantástica: I've been coming to Free Body for some chronic back pain I had been experiencing for almost a year. The evaluation, communication and thoughfulness of all the therapists has been amazing. My treatment has continued to evolve as my body has healed and continued to improve. All appointments are 1 on 1 the entire time which is extremely beneficial. I would highly recommend Free Body

Experiencia fantástica: I've been coming here for about 6 months due to multiple injuries-lower and upper body-from running and lifting weights (including, but not limited to, a partially torn hip flexor & shoulder impingement). I've had nothing but great experiences here; I see Marissa specifically. But, everyone that works at FBPT is welcoming and attentive. The difference between going to FBPT and a big chain is that your PT spends your whole session with you-not juggling multiple clients at once. And, that makes a big difference. In the middle of marathon season this year, I didn't think I'd ever make it to the finish line. But, Marissa kept my spirits high and we just kept plugging away and I finished my race no worse for the wear. I've been to a ton of different PT offices and am so glad to have found this one. I also love supporting a small, neighborhood business, rather than a huge chain. There's also free parking if you're not in walking distance.

Experiencia fantástica: Marc was sooo helpful for me!! I hurt my knee a couple of weeks before a big trip to Colombia. I only got to see Marc 2 times before this trip, but he did some dry needling magic and I swear my knee was better from that point on. I was able to hike for almost 5 hours with very minimal knee pain. Free body and Marc are so great!

Experiencia fantástica: I started at free body with plantar fasciitis in both of my heels with constant pain everyday. I’ve mostly seen Marissa and my pain has decreased dramatically. She has used a combination of dry needling, stretches, and exercises. I’ve seen all the clinicians at Free Body and they are all super knowledgable and friendly. I’m so grateful to their entire staff at Free Body for their help in lessening my pain.

Experiencia fantástica: By far the best physical therapy I’ve ever had! I’ve been to many different PTs after years of sports and bike injuries and nothing compares to the level of personalized care and attention I have gotten here. My pain level has decreased substantially thanks to their dedication. Shout out Marissa!

Experiencia fantástica: Best PT I have had in the city! Came in for groin pain after my first marathon that got healed instantly after 2 sessions! Michael was very intentional with me and asked about any other areas. I have had chronic pains in my chest for a year plus that we looked at. After a few sessions we were able to release the muscles and I have been pain free ever since! Everyone here has been great I will continue to use them as I train for more races!

Experiencia fantástica: I had an incredible experience with Michal and the whole team at the office, including Marissa and Marc. As an amateur boxer, I've been struggling with elbow issues since May. Thanks to their expertise and care, I not only recovered for my sport but also won fights (yay). Michal has been extremely attentive and supportive during this whole process, ever optimistic and determined to play detective and uncover roots of my issues. Highly recommend the place.

Experiencia fantástica: As an amateur aerialist, I was relieved that Michal immediately understood how important it is to me to recover from my injury (pinched ulnar nerve) to be able to safely return to circus arts. (I’ve heard plenty of horror stories of classmates treated by medical professionals who discounted the importance of aerial arts to their lives, and even scolded them for their dangerous hobby.) Michal has been great at tracking, explaining and responding to my progress through recovery, and seems as enthusiastic about my gains as I am. Overall, the whole staff has been friendly, and the space is small but clean and welcoming.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had a lingering issue that I foolishly didn’t take care of for years. The folks at Free Body have been excellent - both in finding a strategy to treat my symptoms and developing a longer term plan to address my ankle issues. I’ve been going routinely for the last couple of months and have noticed a dramatic improvement in my overall well-being. I’d highly recommend them!

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been coming to Free Body for the past few months. It started with a hamstring injury, but I’ve continued coming back whenever I’ve had a new injury, strain, or just to do some maintenance work. All the of the staff are very kind and knowledgeable, but I’ll shoutout Michal in particular as I’ve been working with him the most. He’s very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. He’s made it possible for me to return to playing the sport I love feeling stronger than I did before my injury! Many thanks to the whole Free Body team for all their hard work! I highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Free Body is one of the best physical therapy clinics I have been to. As a physical therapist myself, Free Body is where I go to when I need extra help. Recently, they helped me resolve acute low back pain. I have recommended them to friends and family several times.

Experiencia fantástica: Absolute best experience with Michal and the whole staff. I came in with achilles pain and unable to walk pain-free. Feeling discouraged that I wouldn’t be able to run the marathon, Michal provided a tailored care plan to get me back on track to meet my goal. I was able to run my marathon pain free! Truly owe it to Michal and Free Body for making it happen. 10/10 recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: All the staff and PTs are super kind, down to earth and easy to talk to. Michal has been awesome. I came in with a shoulder injury and have seen drastic improvement and achieved my goals within a few weeks. I appreciate that he is up for sharing knowledge and answering my questions about the work we do together. Highly recommend Michal and the whole practice!

Experiencia fantástica: I am a volleyball player, and I have had my fair share of injuries over the years. But thanks to the team at Free Body, I have always been able to get back on the court as quickly and safely as possible. From shoulder, to knee, to back injuries the therapists at Free Body worked with me to develop a personalized treatment plan that helped me to regain my strength and range of motion. They also taught me exercises that I could do at home to prevent future injuries. Highly recommended for athletes.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Free Body because I developed shoulder pain from lifting. I wasn’t able lift and the pain was impacting every day tasks. The treatment I received at Free Body completely changed my shoulder. The pain went away and in a lot of way feels better than before my injury. The staff is super friendly and thoughtful and not only took the time to diagnose the root of the issue but also provided me with tools to continue to strengthen my shoulder on my own. I would absolutely recommend Free Body Physical Therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: I have had multiple ankle surgeries and other chronic issues, so I have had my fair share of Physical Therapy. Free Body has been on the of the PT clinics I've enjoyed most. A couple of callouts here: 1. Every session, you get the PT's full attention and time. 2. Free Body incorporates a shared decision making philosophy into treatment - you set your goals and your feedback is listened to and incorporated. 3. Everyone from the front desk staff to the therapists are super nice and friendly. 4. Free Body's therapists focus PT on having a nice mixture of evidence-based therapy and what works for you and your body. Would recommend Free Body Physical Therapy.

Experiencia fantástica: My doctor recommended me Free Body last year when I had shoulder pain on my right arm. I am a construction worker and I carry 70 plus pounds everyday and constantly have my arms above my head . Free body helped that pain go away last year. They are awesome. On my end, I stopped doing some of the things they had suggested to keep doing at home and I stopped going to them. With my luck, my shoulder pain came right back the following year and I didn’t think it twice and decided to give them a call. They took me in as quick as they could and I am feeling way better. They are superstars at this. I need their services often if I want to work 30 more years in the construction industry. These guys are simply the best. I recommend them 100 percent to anyone that has any pain, strengthening or mobility issues. Don’t think it twice.

Experiencia fantástica: Free body PT has helped me immensely. They have a wholistic approach in how they help their patients and listen to you and your symptoms! They genuinely care about you with intentional conversation and want to see you get better. I was previously at Atletico and there is no comparison in how much better Free Body is. You aren’t pawned off on a PT tech and they think outside of the box solutions especially if you have ongoing/chronic pain& symptoms. Best place I’ve gone to for Physical therapy

Experiencia fantástica: This is the best physical therapy I've ever gotten. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and really make it their personal mission to make sure they address every concern you may have. I had chronic back pain for over 6 years that interfered with everything I did. After coming to Free Body Physical Therapy my pain is almost non-existent!

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend Free Body enough! They have been an integral part of my recovery. I was prescribed PT from my ortho after a shoulder injury. The PTs at Free Body are all very approachable and knowledgeable. I have gone through weekly PT for sports injuries in the past and have always felt like I was being scammed. With Free Body, I come away with more knowledge and optimism after each session. Booking sessions is also very easy and convenient with their online platform as well as their friendly front desk staff. Getting hurt sucks, but Free Body has made the process less painful in every sense!

Experiencia fantástica: The therapists at Free Body are the best! They’re attentive and take time to explain the root cause of the issue. You also get 1 on 1 time with the PTs, and they provide you with several options and exercises to make you comfortable. The sessions have helped me so much - highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: A review long overdue! I looked forward to coming in for every appointment - *everyone* at Free Body was super friendly and welcoming. I specifically worked with Marissa and I really appreciated the plan that she built for me to get back into working order - each week I could feel the progress I was making, and that's all thanks to her putting the time and consideration into learning about and responding to the problems I had. Anywho, 10/10 recommend Free Body - thanks Marissa and team!

Experiencia fantástica: Michal Czesny is such a unique and remarkable physical therapist that I drive 45 minutes each way to see him! I'm wowed by Michal's ability to analyze your problem and develop a creative and highly individualized exercise/therapy/rehab plan tailored to your specific needs. He's a great listener, endlessly patient, and offers tremendous support and encouragement through what can be a trying time when you're overcoming an injury. As a PhD medical researcher, I appreciate Michal's deep understanding of his field. He has an uncanny memory of the details of your case as you progress, and puts it to highly effective use. Michal is truly the most dedicated, skilled, and caring healthcare professional you can ever hope to find.

Experiencia fantástica: My primary doctor recommended Free Body Physical after a sports related injury, and I’m so glad he did so. The staff is very warm and Michal was great to work with. I always had a lot of questions for Michal, and he was always patient and thorough getting into the details. Michal challenged me physically and mentally as I recovered my strength and the confidence to perform more demanding tasks. I would definitely recommend for anyone who needs it to pay them a visit, you won’t regret trusting them with your care.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient of Free Body Physical Therapy for over a year, and I couldn't recommend it enough! As someone who used to visit two other larger PT clinics over the years for my ACL injury, Free Body sets itself apart from other clinics with 1-on-1 care that is both personalized and professional! The majority of my sessions were focused on my left knee that had ACL reconstruction surgery and a later meniscus injury, but fortunately, the treatment from Free Body allowed my knee to heal properly without any additional surgical procedures. My knee has returned to full range of motion and is no longer swollen. The care has been so excellent, that I now ask for advice about minor injuries that I used to usually ignore, where I now see near immediate improvements after 1 or 2 sessions, as well as get tips on how to prevent similar injuries in the future. Marc, Marissa, and Michal are an elite trio of physical therapists, and you would be in great hands with any of them! I always feel comfortable while in the clinic as everyone is so friendly, and I look forward to having conversations with all of them! I do feel that I am being taken care of, and I can certainly tell that each physical therapist truly cares about each of their patients. You won't regret visiting Free Body for PT care!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been going to Free Body for just shy of two months for a persistent pain/limitation in my legs, hips, and glutes. Everyone from the front desk coordinator Vanessa to my PT Michal have been amazing in accommodating me, coming up with a schedule that works, and ultimately tackling my physical concerns in a compassionate and effective way. With a combination of exercises, manipulation, dry needling, and a solid plan built around my unique needs felt noticeable improvement and am hopeful about being able to do the things I want to do again.

Experiencia fantástica: Marissa is a great therapist! She’s knowledgeable, kind and caring. I received the best therapy ever! One-on-one with my therapist is unique and so personalized!! She's the best at dry needling therapy that helped me out to recover from a sports injury. In a few weeks, I was able to come back to play soccer. I can’t praise her enough!!

Experiencia fantástica: I am thrilled to have found Free Body Physical Therapy! I cannot recommend them enough. I started PT 3 or 4 months ago after developing some chronic shoulder and back pain that would not go away and was increasing in severity. I was in pain constantly and starting to wonder if it would ever go away: at work, doing very simple tasks, and even disrupting my sleep. All the stretches and exercises I tried on my own weren't working. I went in to physical therapy expecting a long road to recovery. But after two short sessions, Michael and Marc not only identified the source of my pain was probably from a previous illness but also did some targeted adjustments and exercises that alleviated my pain in ways I hadn't felt in months. I walked out of that session with far more range of motion than I'd felt in a long time and a whole lot more hope that this might actually go away. In the months since then my pain continues to decrease and my range of motion continues to improve, and I remain very optimistic that the treatment I am getting at Free Body is exactly what I need to recover - and it's a whole lot faster than I expected. The staff are very supportive and attentive. In every session we review what has been working and what hasn't and they use it to regularly adjust our therapy plan. I really appreciate how adaptive and individualized their approach to PT has been. I can't recommend them enough, and hope that you find them equally helpful in your road to recovery.

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t recommend Free Body PT enough, this place is truly magical! Every person on staff is kind and supportive. I have been seeing Marissa for almost 5 months after being hit by a car and suffering a tibial plateau fracture and a humerus fracture. I was in a wheel chair when I first got there and now I’m moving and grooving without any assistance :) What makes Free Body different is you are given complete individual attention. It feels like Marissa knows my knee and shoulder like her own! She is constantly helping me improve my mobility and celebrates how far I have come. (See my first steps after 8 weeks in a wheelchair below!) I am so glad I found Free Body and would recommend them to anyone I care about who needs physical therapy!

Experiencia fantástica: I went here to treat my back pain and related post-surgery ankle problems, after I had become frustrated with the assembly-line-like treatment from PT's like Athletico. This was a welcome breath of fresh air; even though it's a small place, the personal attention was vastly different from the larger PT places I've been to, and their manipulations / treatments were super effective. Not only that, Marc and Marisa are some of the friendliest, most knowledgeable , and trustworthy PT's I've ever met, with excellent communication and attention to detail.
